Low Stress Training (LST) Guide

[HippySmoke]

In my experiences plants grow much faster with heavier doses of lst. Sounds wrong but in my case its not.

Actually you have a natural touch for LST dude and it makes sense that LST'ed plants grow faster when done properly, you are exposing more leaves or solar energy collectors toward the sun or in your case CFL therefore providing more energy to the plant more efficiently. Second LST causes the plant to focus on bulking up previous growth areas while not focusing as much energy into vertical size so once again as it bushes like that you create a load of of new energy cells (leaves) that in turn provide enough energy for their own growth at first and then as the plant develops a thick foliage it has an excess of energy and is capable in providing energy to both sets of growth both vertical and at the nodes/internodes. Make sense to anyone else?

Couldn't have said it better myself! Lst keeps the plant stimulated, every action has a reaction. Really stoned this morning!

what happend to your plants rollbluntz

My old indoor grow I harvested that one big plant and it yielded about 1.5ounces under t5s. I've got another going now that pics will be coming up in a few days. I got 10 plants going. Hoping for 3-5 females at the least and I will start more smaller plants after these ones veg for another week or two. Right now they are just getting their first and second true nodes (about 3-7 inches tall). I'll definitely throw up LST pics on here when the time comes.

Damn those look buds look pretty and dense. Care to take a picture of the lst from the bottom of the plant? I'm interested to see the exact method you used. but +rep for those man.

sounds like a decent harvest. cant wait to see the pics

wow those look great. then only thing i see wrong is in pic 3 it looks like a few nanners, but this far into flower you should be fine and have nothing to worry about

 

[Rollbluntz]

Yea it was an alright harvest for 1 plant under t5 lights. This time I'm gonna have double the lighting in t5s and possibly a 250 watt hps for flower

 

[Rollbluntz]

Here ya go mcpurp these are my babies as of right now.
